![]() It’s a collection of tracks that perfectly fits the themes of the show and provides an entirely unique sound that Kanno composed exceptionally, beginning a partnership that saw Kanno working on Watanabe’s shows decades later. It was because of Cowboy Bebop that Kanno formed the blues/jazz band known as the Seatbelts. However, the soundtrack that particularly stands out as one of her best is Cowboy Bebop. Whether it’s Turn A Gundam, Kids on the Slope or more recently, Terror in Resonance, Yoko Kanno represents some of the best musical talents within the world of TV anime. I had to adopt this rule to stop myself from placing everything Yoko Kanno has ever done on this list. Within this article, I’ve adopted the self imposed rule of having one soundtrack per composer. The whole soundtrack is a type of wacky fun that we just don’t see often at all. “Always Komi-ma” is particularly interesting, featuring bizarre sounds and even what sounds like a didgeridoo at one point. ![]() However, The Rolling Girls proves definitively that he can do far more than play the piano with brilliant energetic tracks that fit the style of The Blue Hearts covers with a unique 90s energy to them that is absolutely impossible to replicate. Masaru Yokoyama has shown exceptional talent working on various shows with a particular affinity for piano tracks shown in Your Lie in April. ![]() But it’s cheating with style, as these covers form a tone and personality for the world that our cast adventure through. Is it cheating to form a soundtrack around covers of licensed music? Yes. This is something that pretty much never happens and the music became a core part of the series as a whole. The Rolling Girls was a massive treat for any 90s punk rock fans as new composer Masaru Yokoyama worked to develop stylistic new covers of music from Japanese punk band The Blue Hearts. The whole soundtrack is heavily inspired by his work on Xenoblade Chronicles X and with the track “mouth×宣華○2LI”, it becomes clear that this is a direction I’d like to see Sawano go in in his future works, including the upcoming Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress. Tracks such as “Eri0ne$” and “EP←K” (Sawano has a strange naming sense) are striking standouts with brilliant musical progression as a scene unfolds within our minds. Whilst Nanatsu no Taizai’s OST features some of the same sort of dramatic orchestral tracks of his previous work, the instruments and sounds implemented are completely new, with a rare musical depiction of a fantasy world. And whilst working on the soundtrack for Xenoblade Chronicles X, Sawano got another opportunity to share this talent. However, his speciality actually lies elsewhere, utilising less common instruments, delving into World Music, as seen from his original album, Musica. Known for his Hollywood-esque dramatic music, his loud orchestral sounds instantly identify his work. Known for his work on Kill la Kill, Attack on Titan and Aldnoah.Zero, Hiroyuki Sawano is one of the most popular anime composers among modern fans.
